I have run braid and wire. I actually see the benefits of both, but the negatives of wire outweigh the negatives of braid. So braid it is for my boat. We run 65# PowerPro with 30# mono as backer. I think I put a few hundred of backer on. It works really well. Fleas are fleas no matter what you do, and no twilli tip to mess with. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have looked and looked. If you can find an old fishing hot spots map, they had the TD's on them. Funny thing is, a lot of fisherman don't even know what TD's are. We use TD's extensively here in the eastern basin. I know I may get hammered for this, but Bill Saiff III introduced me to the system and how it aligns perfectly with the structure of the eastern basin of Lake Ontario. Furuno GP-39's will overlay TD's and give you your numbers too.

In the market for new sonar gps combo.
guffins fisherman replied to blacksquirrel2's topic in This Old Boat
I put a Garmin Echomap Plus 94 on my Shamrock with a GT-51M transom mount 'ducer. Everyone says transom mounts don't read well on inboard boats. On plane there is some interference, but I can still see fish, bait and bottom. At trolling speed it looks like I am in demo mode it is so clear. I could not be happier with this unit. I love the hybrid touch/programmable soft button option on this unit. The touch option is lockable with a push of a button so clients don't mess up my settings, etc. Very intuitive interface and quick to move about the settings.

IO? Does the engine rev up, but won't go anywhere? If so, a little more complicated. Sounds like your cable end at the carb is loose, off or broke. One cable shifts her into gear, another advances the throttle in gear. Take a look at the carb or throttle body to see where the cable terminates. It may be obvious. If not, maybe the same is true at the controller end. You can pull it off to look and see, but don't take it apart unless you are confident in putting it back together. They are full of springs and stuff that must go back together correctly. The problem may be obvious in the back of the controller. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My Elite 7 Chirp used to pull this same crap. It's only purpose is my chart now. My Lowrance Ice pack does the same thing when hole hopping. I just think their 'ducers are just too finicky. I think it has somehing to do with bubbles, turbulence, speed and how the machine interprets what the 'ducer is sending to it. Much the same way it wouldn't read shallow water. Just a PITA So I went to Garmin. Much better. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I know someone that fished the Lane this week, and did not hit 'em real good. A few fish came to the net, but not great numbers for the ride out there.

Dipsy divers braid strength
guffins fisherman replied to Dom Bar's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
A couple things to consider with braid for dipsies: 1. Fleas usually stick to the braid worse, but then again they stick to wire and mono too. 2. The thicker the line, the better. Even though a lighter braid will hold the pull of a mag dipsy just fine, a heavier, say 65# braid is thicker and maybe the fleas won't adhere as badly. I am using 65# PowerPro and have really good luck with it as far as fleas. They are there, but manageable. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Fishing Tower on a 196 Fishmaster?

If I remember, you bought a Proline 231 with a 5.7 that needed to be rebuilt? 42 MPH would be a little faster than factory spec for that boat. Maybe you just need to dial back the carb a little. Maybe you've already done that. Just a thought. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
